Default QIMT shipping

I ordered a bunch of stuff from Quilting is my Therapy two weeks ago. I received an order confirmation, and was told I would be updated when my order shipped.

Well, I never received a shipping update, and I never received my stuff. I emailed them twice and didn’t hear back. I’d hate to open a dispute with my CC company, as I know QIMT is a small business, and I love Angela and want to support her. But if they’re not going to send me my stuff, I’d like to order from somewhere else so I can sew while I have vacation.

Anyone else have a similar experience? What was the outcome?

Yes, I'm having similar experiences with almost every shop and business I purchase from. It's taking longer than ever for shipments to arrive in the US, be offloaded from ships, trucked to cities, unloaded from pallets, entered into inventories, priced, packaged, and shipped back out to customers. Everyone is short-staffed, from longshoremen to truck drivers, UPS drivers to local quilt shops. Many places are so short-staffed, they can't even answer emails or phone calls in what we normally consider to be a "timely manner". Quite a few have even reduced hours and days that they're open, because they simply don't have enough staff.
It's definitely an exercise in patience.

I ordered from them within the last 3 months and did get my order. It did take a while.

I order from more than my fair share of companies for fabric, patterns, etc. Some companies I get with 4 days and others like Missouri Star takes forever now. Unless it's a spectacular sale on an item I no longer order from those companies.

This is a sign in my friend's business window:
"The whole world is short staffed. Be kind to those that showed up."
